#47: Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
PG
Running time: 1 hour 43 minutes
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Director: Jonathan Frakes
Cast: Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, F. Murray Abraham, Donna Murphy, Anthony Zerbe.

Synopsis
While investigating a report that Data is running amok on the peaceful Ba’ku planet, the Enterprise-E crew uncovers a conspiracy between Starfleet and the Son’a to secretly relocate the planet’s inhabitants. Interfering with the peaceful Ba’ku seems a clear violation of the Prime Directive, so Picard and his crew must choose whether to follow an unlawful order and help the Son’a, or to mutiny against Starfleet and protect the Ba’ku.

Review
The story itself can be quite confusing at times, a situation where the villains' motives aren't clearly represented, and the threat the crew is fighting is clearly fazed by the slightly convoluted plot line of the entire narrative, thus dampening the pace and excitement a Star Trek film usually possesses as a quality.

Rating
0/5 Stars
